Construct an income statement in good form and answer the following:
(a) Gross profits. (b) EBIT.
(c) Net profits after taxes (d) Earnings per share.
(e) Dividend per share if 60% of the earnings are distributed as dividend.

General and administrative expense excluding Depreciation 7,500
Selling expense 4,000
Depreciation 5,000

Q4. Mama Roach Exterminators, Inc., has sales of $634,000, costs of $305,000,
depreciation expense of $46,000, interest expense of $29,000, and a tax rate of 35
percent. What is the net income for this firm? Suppose the firm paid out
$86,000 in cash dividends. What is the addition to retained earnings?
Suppose the firm had 30,000 shares of common stock outstanding. What is the
earnings per share, or EPS, figure? What is the dividends per share figure?
Solution:
The income statement for the company is:
Income Statement
Sales $634,000
Costs 305,000
Depreciation 46,000
EBIT $283,000
Interest 29,000
EBT $254,000
Taxes(35%) 88,900
Net income $165,100
One equation for net income is:
Net income = Dividends + Addition to retained earnings
Rearranging, we get:
Addition to retained earnings = Net income – Dividends = $165,100 – 86,000
= $79,100
EPS = Net income / Shares = $165,100 / 30,000 = $5.50 per share.
DPS = Dividends / Shares = $86,000 / 30,000= $2.87 per share
Q5. Given the following information for Mama Mia Pizza Co., calculate the depreciation
expense:
Sales $34,000; costs $16,000; addition to retained earnings $4,300; dividends paid
$1,200; interest expense $2,300; tax rate 35 percent.
Solution:
The solution to this question works the income statement backwards. Starting at the
bottom:
Net income = Dividends + Addition to ret. earnings = $1,200 + 4,300 = $5,500
Now, looking at the income statement:
Recognize that EBT × tax rate is simply the calculation for taxes. Solving this for EBT
yields:
Q7. For the year just ended, Ratterman Frozen Yogurt shows an increase in its net fixed
assets account of $625. The company took $170 in depreciation expense for the year.
How much did the company spend on new fixed assets? Is this a source or use of cash?
Source(+)
2009 2008 or Use(-)?
Cash $ 400 $ 500 +
Accounts receivable 250 300 +
Inventory 450 400 –
Current assets 1,100 1,200
Net property & equipment 1,000 950 – *
The book value of property and equipment is stated net of depreciation. Because the book value
*
of fixed assets increased, and depreciation is an adjustment that reduces the account balance,
Batelan must have purchased addition fixed assets. But, without more information we cannot
determine the amount of the purchase.
The retained earning balance increased in 2009, so Batelan must have generated a positive net
income. But, without additional information (i.e. the amount of net income), we cannot tell
whether dividends were paid in 2009.

Q11. Last year Z&B Paints reported its net income as $650,000. A review of its income
statement shows that Z&B’s operating expenses (fixed and variable), excluding depreciation
and amortization, were $1,500,000; its depreciation and amortization expense was $300,000;
and its tax rate was 35 percent. Z&B has no debt—that is, the firm is financed with stock only.
Solution:
a. NI = (Sales – Operating costs – Interest expense)(1-T)
$650,000 = (Sales - $1,500,000 - $300,000 – 0)(1 – 0.35)
$650,000
Sales ($1,500,000 $300,000) $2,800,000
0.65
Solution:
EVA = $150,000(1 – 0.4) – 0.10($1,100,000) = -$20,000
